Green School Vietnam Club, in collaboration with 4Share Foundation, presented many practical gifts to help share the needs of Tuong Tien students, bringing better learning opportunities to students, including more than 200 children's story books, more than 1,200 notebooks and pens of all kinds, along with 126 gifts, a 60-inch LCD TV screen, which were handed directly to students and teachers of the school.
Nguyen Khanh Linh - President of the Green School Vietnam Club said that the Club has participated in launching sustainable production and consumption activities according to the United Nations 2030 Agenda such as: Conference following the United Nations model on promoting circular economy in the field of electrical and electronic waste; Communication campaign "Join hands to reduce plastic waste", "Green shopping bags, smart household goods", "Rethinking plastic - circular economy solution for marine waste". The Green School Vietnam Club has actively organized many volunteer activities, spreading love so that ethnic and mountainous students have better learning opportunities such as: Supporting ethnic and mountainous people facing difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic in Luong Son district (Hoa Binh); "Warm winter in the highlands" program for students of Suoi To 2 Primary School (Suoi To commune, Phu Yen district, Son La province); Giving gifts and spreading love to disadvantaged children in Lac Son district, Hoa Binh province; English program for the poor.
Mr. Dinh Van Phuc, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Tuong Tien commune, said that Tuong Tien is a purely agricultural commune with a natural area of over 3,100 hectares, of which the agricultural land area is only over 950 hectares, mainly upland and hills with relatively large slopes (accounting for more than 40% of the area). This is one of the communes subject to relocation along the Hoa Binh hydroelectric reservoir, and people's lives still face many difficulties.
Ms. Lo Thi Ngan, Secretary of the Youth Union of Tuong Tien commune, said that in recent years, with the attention of the Party and the State, the leaders of Son La province, Phu Yen district and the leaders of Tuong Tien commune, the people of all ethnic groups in the area have received a lot of support from poverty reduction support funds of Program 135 to help increase income, eliminate hunger and reduce poverty. However, due to soil erosion, productivity is decreasing. Livestock farming is based on grazing practices, with low efficiency. Currently, the poverty rate in Tuong Tien commune is still high, accounting for over 31% of households in the commune. With the support of the community, people's lives have had many positive changes, gradually rising to sustainable poverty reduction.
On behalf of the teaching staff of Tuong Tien Primary and Secondary School, teacher Vu Xuan Hoan, Principal of the school, thanked the Vietnam Green School Club and 4Share Foundation for their attention and support so that students have better learning opportunities, have learning tools to access, implement digital transformation, and innovate education at primary and secondary levels./.
